  1. I ride everything with hands down. But, I did ride The Beast with my hands up once last year!
  2. I have a volleyball tournament that day. But, I am planning on going to KI until about 11-ish and then leaving for volleyball (after I ride Diamondback once ).
  3. The top 12 bidders have raised a total of $29,001. That's just amazing: $29,001. Great job to them, but of course, I applaude everyone who is bidding on Diamondback's first rides and helping this great cause!
  4. I am hoping to make around 12 to 15 trips this year with my family
  5. Well, let's justg hope something good happens to the company, whether it is sold or not. It would be a shame for such a large company to go under and all or some of the parks be closed. As I have not been to a Six Flags park and I really would like to take a few days with my family and go to one of the parks in the next couple of years!
  6. I know this has been talked about before, but has it been clarified yet if there will be ERT on Opening Day?
  7. Does this mean Six Flags could end up like Hard Rock Park and even be closed some? Then (at least part of) Six Flags may be sold to other companies?
  8. An hour after testing ended and it started raining, the sun is once again shining up at the Island. It is strange how quickly the weather conditions can change.
  9. Treading carefully here: Do you mean women's apparel for decent people or do you mean apparel for women that's decent? (Terpy, deserving an answer of Yes, tee hee) Yes. Just answering Terpy how he wanted me to.
  10. It has finally started raining up at Kings Island, and on the webcam I can see the middle and left train are in the storage shed, but I can't tell if the third train is in the shed. Edit: Just got another shot of the webcam and it appears the third train is in the shed.
  11. Very nice trip report! Did you get to swim in the ocean or pool or was it just too cold for it?
  12. Check this out http://www.KICentral.com/forums/index.php?...p;hl=comparison Thanks. I remembered seeing that on here a couple weeks ago, but when I searched for it today I couldn't find it. The tallest rollercoaster I have ever ridden is Vortex. I know, I am very deprived
  13. What is the next tallest rollercoaster at Kings Island after Diamondback and SOB?
  14. Yeah. Looks like they are just testing one train for now as the other two are still in the storage shed.
  15. Kings Island and Miami Valley Railroad (I think) Yeah, that's the longest for me too. Longest roller coaster, The Beast. Thanks! I thought that was it but I wasn't sure.
  16. I would have to say the Train (I forget its official name) at Kings Island. After that would be The Beast
  17. That could be part of it but the chemicals within the water to keep it clean is what eat away at backlot's track and hence the removal. I promise it had nothing to do with the pumps not working in such. So what I'm saying with Diamondback is that chemicals must be watched carefully in order to insure the track being kept in top shape. It's definitely possible to keep it in great shape and I'm sure B&M engineers much better track than premier but still care will need to be taken. the water from backlot's splashdown never touched the track rather than a few drops here and there. Indeed water actually did.. the second launch before the tunnel.. you know.. where they pretty much sprayed you down and you were in a mini WWC for a few seconds ... Wait, wait, wait! There used to be water at the second launch?! I know there is fire but I didn't know of any water. Edit: Did I do the quotes in this post correctly?
  18. Kings Island just got a $22 million dollar rollercoaster. Also, look at the way the economy is. IMO it will be a few years before we get another large coaster. And I would like to get a launched, floorless, or suspended coaster first because dive coasters are 'shorter' rides.
  19. I would like to see just a few things happen: -Flight Deck's theming to come back as I never was able to see it when it was there. -More theming on The Crypt. -A new slide in Boomerang Bay (it gets kind of boring). -Cheaper food. -A new restroom in Coney Mall. -Finally, X-Base to be expanded. Edit: Computer submitted post
  20. Hi everyone! I have been reading on this site since about last July and I figured I would go ahead and register. I usually spend about an hour, sometimes more or less, per day on here. Usually I am catching up on what happened with Diamondback while I was at school.
